This book will teach you to be a good skipper. As a result your cruising will be safer, more efficient and more enjoyable.

This book will teach you to be a good skipper. It is in three parts: preparation, handling the boat and passage planning. To begin with you will learn about the role of the skipper: how to manage the boat and crew, weather forecasting and emergencies. In Part 2 – boat handling – you will learn about handling under sail and power, berthing and anchoring. The final section covers making a passage, teaching you about planning, navigation and pilotage, and coping with heavy weather conditions. This guide will make your cruising safer, more efficient and more enjoyable.

John Mellor spent five years as a Royal Navy Officer, then 20 years as a professional yacht skipper - interspersed with spells as a sailing school manager, navigation instructor and trawler skipper. He now writes full time and sails for pleasure, mainly on traditional vessels.
